Slenderized - A Dieter’s Journey

It’s officially day 2 of my 30 day fitness plan and I’m feeling pretty good. My main goal during this 30 days isn’t to deprive myself so much as it’s about teaching me the value in moderation and portion sizes.

I’m back home from my 1 1/2 hour dance class and I didn’t feel very hungry at all. Having a quick (and small) snack actually helped satiate me. So, let’s back up and I’ll give you the rundown.

Breakfast

• Quaker Instant Peaches & Cream Oatmeal (1 serving)
• 10 Bing Cherries
• 1 Babybel Light cheese
• 8 oz. Tropicana Light & Fit Orange Juice
• 1 slice of Pepperidge Farm Harvest 7 Grain toast
• Water

(Yep, I had a pretty big breakfast today.)

Total Calories: 390

Mid-morning Snack

• 10 Grape tomatoes
• 1/2 serving of sliced chicken breast
• Water

Total Calories: 50

Lunch

• Spring salad (1 cup) with 10 spritzes of Wishbone Salad Spritzer
• 10 Grape tomatoes
• 1 slice of Pepperidge Farm Harvest 7 Grain toast
• 8 oz. Tropicana Light & Fit Orange Juice
• Water

Total Calories: 250

Mid-afternoon Snack

• Babybel Light cheese
• 10 Bing Cherries
• Water

Total Calories: 90

Dinner

• South Beach Diet Pepperoni Pizza
• Water

Total Calories: 350

Evening snack

• 10 Grape tomatoes

Total Calories: 290

(This is my after dance class “snack” which turned into a small meal.)

My overall calorie intake for the day is 1420. That places me squarely under my 1500 calorie goal.
